Crowded Gym

Oh man, one thing that makes me koo koo for cocoa puffs is the New Years Resolution crowd at the gym! AGGGHHHH Ok, the goal was to get there fairly early. I am starting a new training schedule...today was going to be just cardio stuff. The plan was to treadmill it, then eliptical it. Well....when I got there at 4:30 it was already PACKED!!! Normally it's dead until about 5:30 give or take. The only thing available was ONE (count'em) ONE eliptical machine. Man I grabbed it like a dog going after a bone. I was going to do 20 mins on it, then 20 mins on the treadmill. Well after that there was not one single treadmill to be had. So, I waited for a while. There wasn't even anything else for me to get on!!! So, I just thought, well I will make it up later on this week or the weekend. So, I am now home. Annie, I feel like you, 20 good minutes of sweating is better than nothing! Tomorrow is the weight training night for me...hopefully it will yield better results!

OMG, I posted before I read this and you and I are both wanting people to count our stuff!! Great minds think alike! Good for you for getting something in, even though all those new years athletes got in your way....grrrrr. We crack me up!

Give it a couple weeks, you should have plenty of open equipment by then.

I know... patience is a virtue...I am working on it, really! I am going back over tonight to do my weight training. I am hoping that it won't be too bad around 6;30 or 7, but I have a feeling it will be worse. The good thing is that most of the people who go to the fitness center at OSU usually are more into the treads, elipticals and stationary bikes. Not too many are hitting the free weights very hard, but you know that all could change... Have a good one guys! Val

I think the sales staff is slacking at our gym. I didn't see a big dif on the amt of people in the morning. I rarely go in the evening. I'm always too exhausted from work. I also feel more comfy with the morning people. The afternoon is always packed and more of a younger 20 something meat market.

It was really quiet there tonight. I guess the rush is over already! I can't do the morning thing, and by the end of the workday I need the stress relief majorly I work out at the fitness center at OSU, so mostly there are rehab people, older people, mo people, so there aren't a bunch of young kids or "gym bunnies" to have to deal with. Kinda nice actually. This will be my home until it is warm enough to work out at home.
